Have you seen these websites before? If you know any subculture internet user in 1990's or early 2000's, you should ask them what they think of the internet now

Have you seen these websites before? If you know any subculture internet user in 1990's or early 2000's, you should ask them what they think of the internet now! Unless you have the experience, otherwise you can't tell the difference. http://www.deviantart.com/ http://www.deviantart.com/ http://rateyourmusic.com/list/novocaine69/the_great_obscure___music_artists_originating_from_the_periphery/ http://rateyourmusic.com/list/novocaine69/the_great_obscure_... http://www.novaexpresscafe.com/main.html http://www.novaexpresscafe.com/main.html Today, my Uber driver was a DJ and he mentioned how stink the internet is. He is still using Usenet now. This is how pathetic internet nowadays. And Silicon Valley is the least creative place I've lived. It is quite pathetic. It is "creative" through "newspaper" only. You can't argue against their success. Nothing is more successful than success. You can't argue against success.

Deviant art I only really started seeing pop up in the last few years, (I guess my styles are changing as I fet older). I wouldn't know about silicon valley. A)I'm not American so it doesn't really effect me, b)well I guess a summed it up haha. I socialise with all my mates using voice comms recently, we try out new games and leave messages on steam. I frequently read new and interesting news and science pieces from places I have never hear of, thanks to Google news and Reddit. I don't miss the old internet pre Google days, facebook seems like a 900lb gorilla, but aside from auto blocking their tracking buttons, it never effects me. I do think it can seem depressive though, I do occasionally miss bulletin boards, but then I remember how annoying it was to dial in hahedit: typos, thanks phone

  Technically what used to be bulletin boards with all their maneurisms and excentrics has now been moved to reddit. You still have flourish of subtopics and categories and groups you can post to on reddit just like you were able to do on usenet bulletin boards. However for the most of places there the problem of an eternal-september is in constant effect in so far as everyone with an internet connection and an account can post, which makes moderators (unbiased ones especially!) all the more valuable
